[Intro] D/C C D/C C
D/C C D/C C D/C C
I saw you dancin' out the ocean
D/C G/B
Running fast along the sand
Gm/Bb Eb
A spirit born of earth and water
Eb F
Fire flying from your hands
Bb Eb/Bb
In the instant that you love someone
F/A Bb
In the second that the hammer hits
Fm/Ab G F/A
Reality runs up your spine
Cm7 F
B°
And the pieces finally fit
[Refrão]
Bb D7/F#
And all I ever needed was the one
Gm Bb/F
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
F# Bb/F
When stars collide like you and I
Ab/Bb Eb Bb/D
No sha- dows block the sun
Cm7
You're all I've ever needed
F Bb
Baby you're the one
[Próxima Parte]
D/C C
There are caravans we follow
D/C G/B
Drunken nights in dark hotels
Gm/Bb Eb
When chances breathe between the silence
Eb F
Where sex and love no longer gel
Bb Eb/Bb
For each man in his time is Cain
F/A Bb
Until he walks along the beach
Fm/Ab G F/A
And sees his future in the water
Cm7 F
B°
A long lost heart within his reach
[Refrão] (repetir)
